Those Weatherfield residents may want to watch themselves as Coronation Street villain Pat Phelan is set to be around for a while yet.

Phelan has been causing chaos since returning to the Cobbles earlier this year - and things are showing no sign of slowing down just yet.

"Phelan is still here and there are no immediate signs of him going," Connor McIntyre said to Inside Soap's Yearbook.

"I feel very privileged that I'm here at this particular time because it feels like I'm making a contribution - so whatever happens now, I'm part of the Corrie legacy. Just a small part, but a part of Corrie lore nonetheless. I can't tell you how happy that makes me."

Michael will finally get the proof that the builder has spent the past few months conning the local residents with his so-called property development, but of course Phelan isn't going to go down without a fight.

And Connor has teased that Phelan's antics are going to get even worse. Crikey!

"All I can say is that it's going to get dark," Connor teased. "And if it's at all possible, Pat's going to get a whole lot worse."
